The shooting happened about a mile away from another shooting in the 4100 block of Southwest 30th Street Saturday night that left a man dead.

Authorities have released few details on either shooting.

Mark Young, a community activist, said residents always bring up issues to him so he can bring it to the city meetings.

"We do not get the protection, people going to and from work, their lives are being put in jeopardy," Young said.
